Hammer lighting issue

[obsidian]

I gotta say, that's shaping up really well, let me know when you want someone to test with again. I love the lighting on the plants.

First, do a backup of all your work.

I don't know about Hammer to say for sure, but if you have a previous version or even a blank map, is it possible to open up 2 instances of Hammer and copy & paste things from your current map into your old one? If you can copy and paste things a bit at a time and then test with every move, you might be able to leave the issue behind or eventually trace the problem.

You can do the binary search method of deleting half of your work and seeing if it fixes things. If not, delete the other half. Then delete half of that, and work your way down, you'll usually trace your way down to the problem. This is what most people do when they come up with a weird phantom problem like this.

What engine is this? Source I assume?

Yeah this is Alien Swarm which I'm about 99% certain runs on Source.

[obsidian]

Yes, Alien Swarm on Source Engine. It's free on Steam, you should play it:

Free is pretty cheap

Juggling with knives is cheap, doesnt mean I want to do it

But no, good point, free is free.

Tried here? http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Main_Page and http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/f ... .php?f=193

It could be you set some variable wrong or unchecked a flag in the BSP compiler thing?

also, that looks sexy
